Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a strapping device of the type specified in the preamble of the first claim.
  • the present invention relates to an at least semi-automatic, preferably automatic, strapping device suitable for allowing the common operations of tensioning a strap and coupling two edges of said strap through welding.
  • the straps are tensioned on the package and joined, at the ends, so as to lock said straps on the package.
  • tensioning and welding operations in particular, cannot be carried out by hand by an operator, but require specific tools called strapping devices.
  • Strapping devices are automatic or semi-automatic machines used to seal a certain product, as mentioned, for transport purposes, which perform their tensioning action both vertically and horizontally.
  • strapping devices include at least one welding assembly and one tensioning assembly.
  • the welding assembly includes a mechanism suitable for locking at least two edges of the strap so as to join them at a fixed point.
  • the joining is therefore usually carried out by subjecting the locked edges to a continuous kinematic action, which is suitable for generating friction, thereby generating the heat required for the melting and joining of the tape.
  • the operator can unlock the mechanism, and therefore also the strap, by means of a mechanical lever or, more rarely, an electronic button.
  • the tensioning assembly includes a unit rocking around an axis arranged in an advanced position on the strapping device, and precisely referred to as a rocker.
  • the rocker locks at least two edges of the strap by friction and subjects them to an opposing tensioning force, delivered through a rotating roller, so that the portions of the strap slide one over the other until a predetermined tension state is reached over the entire tape.
  • the rocker mechanism includes a plurality of drive elements which are suitable to transmit motion from a motor to the rocker and from the rocker to the tensioning roller.
  • the strapping device comprises a motor for driving the welding assembly, a motor for driving the tensioning assembly, and a mechanical lever, or a servomotor, for unlocking the strap when the joining is completed.
  • the current strapping devices include a plurality of independent commands which require their own motors and mechanisms, resulting in increased overall dimensions of the strapping device.
  • the tensioning assembly usually has complex configurations, including at least four or five stages of transmission, which can lead to reductions in available torque and to high expenditure of energy required, especially with regard to battery-operated strapping devices.
  • a further drawback of the prior art is that common strapping devices do not take into account a factor which is important for providing quality seals: the human factor.
  • strapping devices do not prevent or in any way help the operator during the release of the strap.
  • the technical task underlying the present invention is to devise a strapping device, which is capable of substantially obviating at least some of the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • a major object of the invention is to obtain a strapping device which allows a reduction in the complexity and the mechanical components inside the control assemblies, i.e. the welding and/or tensioning assemblies, while maintaining high processing efficiency.
  • Another major object of the invention is to provide a strapping device which is able to increase the torque for locking the rocker, so as to guarantee greater locking stability even in the case of tension forces greater than the norm.
  • a further task of the invention is to provide a strapping device which assists the operator at least during the unlocking of the strap, so as to prevent, or at least reduce, defective and yielding seals.
  • the measures, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when used with words like “about” or other similar terms such as “approximately” or “substantially”, are to be understood as except for measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors and, above all, except for a slight divergence from the value, measure, shape or geometric reference with which it is associated.
  • these terms if associated with a value, preferably indicate a divergence of not more than 10% from said value.
  • the strapping device according to the invention is indicated as a whole by the numeral 1.
  • the strapping device 1 is a tool which allows a user, typically an operator, to seal packages by means of long-shaped or tape elements known as straps.
  • Straps which are widely used in the packaging sector, are polymeric bands designed to enclose the object to be packaged so as to seal the package.
  • the strapping device 1 is suitable to tension the strap and weld the strap at a predetermined point of the strap itself.
  • the strapping device is provided with a guide area in which two spaced apart edges of the strap are arranged and superimposed.
  • the other edge of the strap While one of the edges is substantially blocked, the other edge of the strap is moved so as to subject the strap to a desired tension. Subsequently, the opposite portions of the two edges of the strap are subjected to friction and mutually welded by the effect of the heat produced by the friction.
  • an example of a strapping device similar to the strapping device 1 is the ITA 27 product marketed by Itatools TM .
  • Other similar examples are described in patent applications US-A-2018194497 and EP-A-2285691 .
  • the strapping device 1 is battery operated, but could also be powered in a different way, as long as it is functional to the invention.
  • the strapping device 1 preferably comprises a tensioning assembly 2 and a welding assembly 3.

  • the strapping device 1 is preferably provided with a body suitable for covering at least part of the tensioning assemblies 2, the welding assembly 3 and the frame 10.
  • the frame 10 is preferably a structure suitable to house the components that make up the strapping device 1 so as to constrain them. Obviously, the frame 10 can be in one piece, or in several pieces, in turn constrained to each other.
  • the frame 10 therefore also defines a supporting area 11.
  • the supporting area 11 is a portion of the frame 10 within which, normally, the strap is processed by the strapping device 1.
  • the strapping device 1 also defines a supporting surface 11a.
  • the supporting surface 11a is substantially a portion, which is for example flat or with a small curvature, of the supporting area 11 in which the strap to be processed is positioned.
  • the strap itself therefore defines a processing path 1a preferably at least partially aligned with the supporting surface 11 along which the strap is positioned.
  • the tensioning assembly 2 preferably comprises all the components suitable to allow the tensioning of the strap, that is, all the components acting directly in contact with the strap, as well as all the components suitable to transmit the energy or motion required to actuate the components contacting the strap.
  • the tensioning assembly 2 is preferably suitable to lock and tension, on command, at least part of a strap. Therefore, the tensioning assembly 2 comprises at least one rocker 20.
  • the rocker 20 is an element substantially designed to rock, i.e. rotate, on command, around a predetermined axis. Therefore, preferably, the rocker 20 defines a main axis 2a.
  • the main axis 2a is preferably the axis around which the rocker 20 can rotate relative to the frame 10 of the strapping device 1.
  • the main axis 2a is substantially transverse to the processing path 1a of the strap so that, by rotating around the main axis 2a, the rocker 20 can move towards or away from the strap.
  • the rocker 20 in turn, includes at least one tensioning wheel 200.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 is preferably a rotating component suitable to allow the movement, on command, of the strap so as to tension it.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 in particular, is not the element in contact with the strap, but is the element that allows a tensioning roller to be moved.
  • the latter as known in the current state of the art, is a cylindrical element capable of rotating, for example, adherent to the strap to tension it, and is therefore moved by the tensioning wheel 200.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 can therefore move the tensioning roller directly, or can move it by means of drive means, for example including epicyclic gears.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 is a main driving gear of the tensioning roller shown clearly in Fig. 2 .
  • the tensioning wheel 200 and the tensioning roller by virtue of the transmission of motion, rotate in opposite directions around the same axis, but move integrally with each other in the plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 is moved closer to the strap, whereas when the tensioning roller is moved away from the strap, so is the tensioning wheel 200.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 is therefore adapted to rotate around its own tensioning axis 2b.
  • the tensioning axis 2b is preferably an axis parallel to the main axis 2a and is substantially centred with respect to the tensioning wheel 200.
  • the tensioning axis 2b is spaced apart with respect to the main axis 2a so that the tensioning wheel 200 can be moved with at least two degrees of freedom.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 is able to rotate on its axis, in detail around the tensioning axis 2b, so as to tension a possible strap in contact with the tensioning roller moved by the tensioning wheel 200, and is capable of translating along a curvilinear path, substantially an arc of a circle, when the tensioning wheel 200 rotates with respect to the main axis 2a.
  • the rocker 20 is adapted to be moved towards the strap, so as to arrange the tensioning roller adherent to the strap, or far from the strap.
  • the tensioning wheel 200 when the tensioning roller adheres to the strap, the tensioning wheel 200 also moves towards the strap integrally with the tensioning roller, without touching the strap, since it is a member designed to transmit motion.
  • the rocker 20 is adapted to be moved towards the strap, so as to arrange the tensioning wheel 200 close to the strap, or far from the strap.
  • the welding assembly 3 is preferably suitable for joining, on command, at least two edges of a strap.
  • the welding assembly 3 is preferably of the type commonly used for vibration welding.
  • the welding assembly 3 comprises at least one interface device 30.
  • the interface device 30 is substantially a mobile portion of the welding assembly 3 suitable for interacting with the strap so as to transfer at least part of the energy powering the strapping device 1 to the strap in the form of heat.
  • the interface device 30 can be active or can be inactive with respect to the strap.
  • the interface device 30 is active when it interacts with the strap and is inactive when the strap is not subjected to welding.
  • the interface device 30 is adapted to collaborate with a welder 300.
  • the welder 300 preferably defines the area of contact with the strap.
  • the interface device 30 can be adapted to push the welder 300 towards the strap, so as to allow the welder 300 to exert the pressure required to carry out the welding operations, or it can be moved away from the strap so that the welder 300 does not adhere to the strap or moves away from it.
  • the welder 300 is therefore preferably constrained to the frame 10 and configured so as to collaborate with the interface device 30.
  • the welder 300 is constrained at the supporting area 11, possibly in a housing obtained on the supporting surface 11a itself.
  • the welder 300 can simply be arranged on the interface device 30 itself.

  • the vibration axis 3b is preferably aligned with the supporting surface 11a so as to move the welder 300 coplanar with respect to the supporting surface 11a.
  • the welder 300 may not necessarily move coplanar with respect to the supporting surface 11a, but may be inclined relative thereto.
  • the supporting surface 11a itself could therefore include a cavity for housing the welder 300 so as to provide a guide inside which the welder 300, when in contact with the strap, can friction-weld the strap by also moving outside the plane provided by the supporting surface 11a.
  • the welder 300 moves by cyclically translating along the vibration axis 3b, like a vibrating slider, so as to provide the heat required for joining the edges of the strap.
  • the welder 300 can be made according to several embodiments. It can be suitable for making movements different from those described, for example circular, or sector of a circle-like, or other movements.
  • the welder 300 is adapted to be moved with respect to the strap arranged on the supporting surface 11a and, for example, blocked by the rocker 20, so as to provide heat by friction.
  • a shearer can also be coupled to the welder 300.
  • the shearer as is known, is preferably adapted to allow the sectioning of part of the strap once the welding operations are completed so as to remove the portion of the strap that does not provide, for example, the packing ring.
  • the shearer can also be arranged on the interface device 30 integral therewith, or only partially integral therewith, in greater detail it can collaborate with it so that the interface device 30, when required, pushes the shearer towards the strap.
  • the interface device 30 therefore preferably defines a secondary axis 3a.
  • the secondary axis 3a is preferably a movement axis suitable to allow at least part of the interface device 30 to be moved with respect to the frame 10 of the strapping device 1.

  • the strapping device 1 could have systems for moving the interface device 30 linearly, and in this case, the slider 300 could move by translating along a direction perpendicular to the supporting surface 11a.
